Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife.
The wavering mind is but a base possession.
Why do we make so much of knowledge, struggle so hard to get some little skill not worth the effort?
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
There is safety in numbers.
To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
